Wearable tech gets in the game (pictures)
From science fiction to science fact, wearable technology is tracking our every move.
Jawbone UP platform
Jawbone has just announced an iOS Platform, called UP, which is set for integration with multiple apps -- and soon to have an open API -- with the goal of organizing your adventure sports and athletic data.
Right now, the wearable computing market is relatively wide open, with new platforms vying for real estate in a space that is largely yet undefined -- the players are positioning for what is to come -- and nearly everyone believes the wearable market is indeed coming.
